With the maturing of the all-flash array (AFA) market, the established market leaders in this space are turning their attention to other ways to differentiate themselves from their competition besides just product functionality. Consciously designing and driving a better customer experience (CX) is a strategy being pursued by many of these vendors.This white paper defines cloud-based predictive analytics and discusses evolving storage requirements that are driving their use and takes a look at how these platforms are being used to drive incremental value for public sector organizations in the areas of performance, availability, management, recovery, and information technology (IT) infrastructure planning.

Banks embarking on any cloud activities must first overcome the compliance of rigorous security policies and regulations. For its 100th anniversary commemorative website, The Bank of East Asia (BEA) partnered Rackspace Professional Services – for expertise and advice on advanced cloud management, best practices and security – to help with the designing of a highly secured and compliant AWS environment to host the new, celebratory website.

For years, experienced data warehousing (DW) consultants and analysts have advocated the need for a well thought-out architecture for designing and implementing large-scale DW environments. Since the creation of these DW architectures, there have been many technological advances making implementation faster, more scalable and better performing. This whitepaper explores these new advances and discusses how they have affected the development of DW environments.

Over two-thirds of US consumers under 50 say they would be happy if shopping evolved into a mobile-only experience, recent survey research found. Is your brand designing its mobile experience for a near future in which you may be engaging with your customers exclusively via smartphone, tablet or watch?
In this guide, we draw on our experience creating mobile shopping experiences for some of the world’s leading brands to help you optimize the design of your mobile presence and improve engagement with your customers.
Design matters for mobile. The user experience of your website and app can make the difference between driving revenue and driving customers away.

In the world of product development, we spend months – sometimes years – designing, developing, and testing new products. We spend thousands of hours preparing for their launch. We leave no stone unturned as we get the product ready to survive – and thrive – in the hands of customers. In many ways, it feels like we are a massive group of expectant parents getting ready for the birth of what will become our own child.

The employee engagement survey can be a powerful force for consistent, positive change. This guide provides a more insightful and actionable approach to employee engagement, including a framework for designing and implementing pulse programs. The ideas inside come from decades of engagement survey and organizational development (OD) experience.

Oracle has just announced a new microprocessor, and the servers and engineered system that are powered by it. The SPARC M8 processor fits in the palm of your hand, but it contains the result of years of co-engineering of hardware and software together to run enterprise applications with unprecedented speed and security.
The SPARC M8 chip contains 32 of today’s most powerful cores for running Oracle Database and Java applications. Benchmarking data shows that the performance of these cores reaches twice the performance of Intel’s x86 cores. This is the result of exhaustive work on designing smart execution units and threading architecture, and on balancing metrics such as core count, memory and IO bandwidth. It also required millions of hours in testing chip design and operating system software on real workloads for database and Java. Having faster cores means increasing application capability while keeping the core count and software investment under control. In other words, a boost

The webinar is an excellent resource to provide attendees with the kind of comprehensive and collaborative perspective needed when exploring the implementation of big data solutions. The real-world examples provide information that can enable better decisions for designing best-of-breed big data solutions for organizations.

The HP Flex-Bundles for SMB with SQL Server 2014 were created to include everything that a business needs to easily build a new environment or upgrade an existing one. The following sections cover the server, storage, networking and services building blocks that make up these pre-defined configurations.
HP Flex-Bundles are built on the HP ProLiant servers that include some of the latest and most powerful Intel processors. In designing the latest generation of the HP ProLiant server families, HP wanted to not only draw on 24 years of server experience, but also gain from the depth of knowledge and insight from customers.

Here are the five core principles for monetizing your storage like never before and winning more customer applications than ever for your cloud and hosted services. These are your keys to the next generation data center.

This white paper highlights the performance and scalability potential of InfoSphere DataStage 8.1 based on a benchmark test simulating a data warehouse scenario. The benchmark is designed to use the profiled situation to provide insight about how InfoSphere DataStage addresses key questions customers frequently ask when designing their information integration architecture.

This paper introduces five architectural principles guiding the development of the next generation data center (NGDC). It describes key market influences leading a fundamental enterprise IT transformation and the technological trends that support it. The five principles are: scale-out, guaranteed performance, automated management, data assurance, and global efficiencies. Cloud infrastructure delivery models such as IaaS, private clouds, and software-defined data centers (SDDC) are foundations for the NGDC. In an era where IT is expected to ensure productiongrade support with a plethoric flow of new applications and data, these models demonstrate how to eliminate bottlenecks, increase self-service, and move the business forward. The NGDC applies a software-defined everything (SDx) discipline in a traditional, hardware-centric business to gain business advantage.

In today’s complex and distributed IT environments, identity and access management (IAM) programs do much more than simply manage user identities and grant access. This paper provides four key steps that can move you toward a more mature solution now.

Field redesigns point the way to next-generation machines. This paper includes case studies showing how conversions from roller chain or gears to synchronous belt drives improved performance while saving maintenance and replacement costs.
